I bought a huge papaya and cut off about 4" and ate the whole thing. This morning.............Whoopee! A friend gave me a Magnesium pill which gave me the runs all day. Papaya works well in the morning. Try it

I have a tortuous redundant colon and suffer all of the symptoms that go with it. My GI has me eating a high fiber diet, and taking 2 or more Metamucil capsules each day. I take them first thing in the morning with a big glass of water. Then drink a slow cup of coffee. It has been working! I have to get up early to make this happen as I am a teacher and need to be at work by 7:30 each day. But it’s worth it!
